Statesman-Journal: Merkley Campaign One Of The Week's Losers

The Salem Statesman-Journal weighed in on the Oregon Democratic Senate primary this week with a reaction to news that Jeff Merkley has been poll testing negative attacks against Steve Novick. In a column highlighting the week's winners and losers, Merkley fell into the latter category.
LOSER: Jeff Merkley's campaign. The Associated Press reported that the campaign is polling Oregon voters, testing negative messages about fellow Democratic Senate candidate Steve Novick. If Merkley's willing to wallow in the gutter, voters only can assume his campaign is going nowhere.
That sure seems to be the growing conventional wisdom.
